Musavat

Musavat is a liberal political party in Azerbaijan that was founded in 1911. Musavat was a secret underground organization in the years leading up to World War I, and it was briefly legal during Azerbaijan's brief period of independence that occurred between the Russian Revolution and the Russian Civil War. From the end of 1922, Musavat operated in exile from Turkey, and it was resurrected in 1989. The party was re-founded with liberal and nationalist views, and it had no representation in politics in 2017.
